What is the Wegovy Pill?
The Wegovy pill contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It’s FDA-approved for adults with obesity or overweight plus a weight-related condition. Wegovy works with your body to help reduce appetite and support gradual, sustained weight loss.
How the Wegovy Pill Works
Wegovy slows digestion and signals your brain to feel full sooner, helping reduce cravings and support better blood sugar management. It works similarly to other GLP-1 medications but comes in a convenient daily pill form.
Wegovy Pen vs. Wegovy Oral Tablet
Wegovy is available in two formulations containing the same active ingredient, semaglutide.
Similarities:
Active ingredient: Both the pen and the oral tablet contain semaglutide (the same active ingredient used in Ozempic®).
Weight loss outcomes: Clinical studies show average weight reduction of approximately 14% with the oral form and 15% with the injectable form over one year.
*Dose escalation: Treatment begins at a lower dose and is gradually increased based on individual tolerance and treatment goals.
Side effects: Potential side effects are similar between formulations and may be monitored and managed by your physician.
Key Differences:
Wegovy pen: Administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection.Wegovy oral tablet: Taken by mouth once daily.Your physician will determine which option, if any, is medically appropriate based on your health history and treatment goals.
Important Safety Information: GLP-1 medications are indicated for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight (with weight-related medical conditions) when used alongside diet and exercise.
These medications may have serious side effects, including a possible risk of thyroid tumors. Wegovy should not be used if you or a family member has a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
A full medical evaluation is required to determine if Wegovy is appropriate for you. Discuss all risks and benefits with your physician.
*Based on manufacturer clinical trials studying the highest doses of oral and injectable semaglutide in adults without diabetes who had obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition, when combined with diet and exercise changes (compared to approximately 2% with diet and exercise alone).
